Humane Rabbit Catcher
A student inventor at Rycotewood College has developed an easy-to-use rabbit trap that requires no bait or poison.The "Multi-Catch" is a galvanized steel structure that uses an enclosed tunnel with a trap door, and a cage below it, to catch rabbits alive. You place it along any "rabbit run" or through a fence. For the first few days you let rabbits come and go as they please through the tunnel. Once they're comfortable going through it you set the trap door. As the rabbit goes through the tunnel, weights on the door cause the door to open and the rabbit falls into the cage. The door then automatically resets itself. An access hatch is used to removed rabbits from the cage.
